    Apolgies if this is the wrong forum. My IPAD is just over 2 years old....it is having problems charging. While it is plugged in, it just won't charge and takes at least 9 hours to charge fully. I bought the correct Apple IPAD charger too so it's not that...any ideas folks?? Cheers

    Could be lots of things incl. a dying battery. iPads require Apple's larger 10W USB charger for faster charging.

    The state of the charging cable has a huge effect on the charge rate. Make sure you try a different cable.

    Are you sure it's the correct charger? Sounds very much like it's not...
